Abstract

A method for printing an image on a substrate, the method including the steps of providing a plurality of rollers for moving a substrate on which the image is printed; depositing a plurality of different colored inks on a print side of the substrate which form the image; depositing clear liquid on the non-print side of the substrate in a predetermined pattern for permitting the substrate to have uniform substrate growth.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for printing an image on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of:
 a) providing a plurality of rollers for moving a substrate on which the image is printed;   b) depositing a plurality of different colored inks on a print side of the substrate which form the image;   c) depositing clear liquid on the non-print side of the substrate in a predetermined pattern for permitting the substrate to have uniform substrate growth.   
     
     
         2 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the pattern is a plurality of spaced apart clear ribs. 
     
     
         3 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the deposited clear ink is a plurality of spaced clear dotted lines. 
     
     
         4 . The method as in  claim 2 , wherein the spaced apart lines are parallel. 
     
     
         5 . The method as in  claim 3 , wherein the spaced apart lines are disposed in along an in-track direction. 
     
     
         6 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the clear liquid is clear water or clear ink. 
     
     
         7 . The method as in  claim 2 , wherein at least a portion of the clear ribs are continuous. 
     
     
         8 . The method as in  claim 2 , wherein at least a portion of the clear ribs are dashed or dotted. 
     
     
         9 . The method as in  claim 2 , wherein at least a portion of the clear ribs are equally spaced. 
     
     
         10 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the patterns is a plurality of one or more shapes. 
     
     
         11 . The method as in  claim 10 , wherein the patterned shape is either polygons, circles, scattered dots, polygons or polygons and circles formed of dots. 
     
     
         12 . The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the patterned shape is symmetrical.
